Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 425 Was Jing Tian's action intentional or accidental?
On stage, the lights went out, the platform descended, and Jing Tian returned backstage.

From below the stage, enthusiastic applause rang out continuously, the sound echoing endlessly.

Compared to previous Golden Eagle Goddesses, Jing Tian's outfit this time was undoubtedly the best for her entrance.
Liu Yifei was fine back then; a slightly larger skirt didn't bother her. But Liu Sisi and Wang Luodan weren't so lucky.
Wang Luodan's Golden Eagle Goddess dress, with a pair of golden butterfly wings on the back, looked extremely out of place and incredibly bizarre.
Those who know her call her the Golden Eagle Goddess, but those who don't might mistake her for the Golden Butterfly Goddess!
Liu Sisi's dress had a strange and exaggerated gold trim at the waist.
Moreover, she made her entrance standing on a plastic golden eagle, and even rode it around the entire venue once.

Luckily, he didn't fall, otherwise it would have been a different story.
Jing Tian's Golden Eagle Goddess gown, however, abandoned the somewhat exaggerated and tacky embellishments, opting instead for a diamond-encrusted, fitted dress that was both shimmering and understatedly luxurious.
A refreshing sight

After all, not everyone can pull off gold; if not done properly, it can look like gaudy gold and appear incredibly tacky.

In terms of her entrance, Jing Tian wasn't as exaggerated or outrageous as her predecessors.
Of all the Golden Eagle Goddesses, Jing Tian is the one who looks the most pleasing.

Yang Mi was even more frustrated. How could this be? Why wasn't she as rustic as Liu Sisi?

If that were the case, I guarantee a lot of media outlets would criticize the clothes and outfits, and condemn their aesthetic sense.

If it's this good, won't the audience go crazy for it?

"Thank you, Jing Tian. This year's Golden Eagle Goddess, like every year, is breathtakingly beautiful and captivating..." On stage, the host began speaking, moving on to the next segment.

The awards ceremony is about to begin.
As the host spoke, one TV series after another appeared on the big screen.
With so many TV dramas, you can imagine how hot the entertainment and television industries are right now.

Hot money is everywhere, and all sorts of people will come in and invest.
Qi Hui saw many familiar TV drama titles, such as "Special Forces: Fire Phoenix," the TV version of "Ip Man," and Gao Yuanyuan's "Let's Get Married."

Qi Hui also saw his own works, "Fire Blue Blade" and "Glorious Era".

Qi Hui roughly calculated that there were nearly one hundred TV series.

Both good and bad can be submitted for awards and nominated.

"The winners of the 27th Golden Eagle Award for Best Television Series are... 'Finding the Way' and 'Jiao Yulu'!"

"The winners of the 27th Golden Eagle Award for Outstanding Television Series are: Mazu, Legend of Dance and Music, Ip Man, and The Dog Beating Stick..."

One by one, TV series were read out, and then they appeared on the screen.
While the audience's attention was focused on the stage, Jing Tian walked out from backstage and went to her seat.
She was also nominated and will have to attend the awards ceremony.

Then, she saw Qi Hui sitting in her seat... She was a little confused.
This position cannot be changed arbitrarily; it involves status and ranking.

Privately, she and Qi Hui didn't care, but with so many people watching, they had to be careful and not act too intimately.

In fact, this position really shouldn't be changed casually.

It is said that Peng Yuyan replaced Li Bingbing's seat without her consent, and later... Li Bingbing was present at the party, but she was uncooperative throughout.

Before long, Peng Yuyan's resources plummeted, and he gradually became quiet.

However, Jing Tian quickly realized what was going on when she saw Yang Mi next to her.
She immediately sat down with a smile and greeted Yang Mi.

The main topic of conversation was about children with Yang Mi. Jing Tian was actually quite curious about these things: What does it feel like to be pregnant? Is childbirth really that painful?

Is it true that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years?

Yang Mi felt a sudden toothache. Was Jing Tian genuinely curious, or was she using these words to remind herself that she was a married woman?

Reason told Yang Mi that Jing Tian had a strong thirst for knowledge, and it seemed to be the former.

But her experience from so many encounters told her that Jing Tian's true intentions were likely the latter.

I don't know if she did it on purpose or accidentally.
On stage, awards such as Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Screenplay, and the Audience's Favorite Actor and Actress were presented one after another.
The awards even include categories specifically for actors from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
Some of these awards are given to one person, some to two, while the "Most Popular Actor" award has five or six recipients.
Is it the least prestigious of the three major awards?
However, the Best Screenplay award went to someone familiar to Qi Hui: Feng Ji, the screenwriter of "Fire Blue Blade".

Besides awards for TV dramas, there were also awards for TV programs, such as "The Brain" and "Where Are We Going, Dad?".

There are also awards for documentary films.
At first, they were all very normal documentaries. Some of the award-winning ones were documentaries about tea, documentaries about marching thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains, and documentaries about poetry and teachers.

But there's something somewhat special mixed in: *The Metamorphosis*.

If I remember correctly, this is a TV program, right?
How did it get categorized as a documentary? How can this even be considered a documentary?
Meanwhile, Yang Mi took advantage of the awards ceremony to change the subject, chatting about some interesting anecdotes in the entertainment industry and some fun things that happened during the awards ceremony.
The main topic of conversation was pregnancy and childbirth, which put a lot of pressure on Jing Tian, ​​leading to an instinctive resistance and reluctance to discuss the subject.

If it were anyone else, this topic would be discussed casually, but Yang Mi always felt awkward and uncomfortable talking about it with Jing Tian.

I can't explain why, but that's just how it feels.

So, let's quickly change the subject!

Jing Tian didn't realize it at first, and by the time she reacted, it was too late to turn back.

After thinking about it, I decided to find an opportunity to bring the topic back.
With so many TV dramas about mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships and romance on screen, there's always a way to...
However, Jing Tian quickly forgot about it because her attention was drawn to something more important.

"Wha...really? You were the previous Best Actress winner?" Jing Tian asked, slightly surprised.

"Mm." Yang Mi nodded with a smile, thoroughly enjoying Jing Tian's surprise.

"The Golden Eagle Awards don't actually have a distinction between Best Actor and Best Actress. However, the most prestigious awards are the Most Popular Actor and Actress, followed by the Best Performance Art Award."

"According to industry practice, by analogy, the most popular male and female actors are indeed equivalent to the TV King and TV Queen; the Best Performance Art Award is the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress."

Yang Mi explained

Unfortunately, she was the winner of the previous year's Most Popular Actress award, which is equivalent to Best Actress in a TV Series.

As Jing Tian listened, she tilted her head, as if... what was the award Qi Hui had given her?

"The winners of the Golden Eagle Award for Best Performing Arts are... Liu Tao for 'Old People Have Support' and Qi Hui for 'Glorious Times'!"

"Congratulations!"

"Huh?" Jing Tian was taken aback when she suddenly heard Qi Hui's name.

I was thinking about something else and didn't pay attention to what was happening on stage.

Daydreaming is a professional skill that all college students possess.

The camera pans to Qi Hui, who smiles and nods, buttoning his shirt and slowly walking onto the stage.
Not far away, Liu Tao also went up on stage to receive the award.
This award has two trophies, which appear to be one for a man and one for a woman.

However, compared to the separate awards for Most Popular Actor and Actress, it is undoubtedly slightly inferior.
After briefly answering two questions from the host and giving a short acceptance speech, Qi Hui left the stage.

"Next up is... Zhang Jiayi from 'Police Affairs in Yingpan Town'!"

As soon as Qi Hui sat down in the audience, Jing Tian approached him, intending to take a look at Qi Hui's trophy.

But doing so was a bit too intimate, so she restrained herself and decided to take a closer look when she got home.

Jing Tian asked, "Hey, what award did you sign me up for again...?"

Her attention these past few days has been focused on the Golden Eagle Goddess; the Golden Eagle Awards have many long and similar names, so of course she doesn't remember them.

Qi Hui smiled and said, "It's your turn."

On stage
"The winner of the Most Popular Actress Award is... Jing Tian for 'Glorious Times'!"

"Let's congratulate Jing Tian!"

"Huh?" Jing Tian looked confused. I won an award?
Aside

Yang Mi took a deep breath. She had just finished showing off, how come Jing Tian had already taken it?
Yang Mi glanced at the two people leaning against each other and felt a deep disdain. They were just relying on men!
I didn't rely on a man, and I still got it, didn't I?

Not envious at all!
